Heron Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 We need the title changing to "His name is Joey Barton and he loves the Toon". Thanks xx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Thought he had a fairly poor game today, by his standards. Got caught in possession a lot today. Like Nolan probably found the pace of the game a bit too much at the end of the day. He's a good footballer, but I have always had reservations about his fitness and stamina - in our current plight with injuries etc this is even more exposed.

JH Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 If he signs long-term, takes a pay cut and keeps out of trouble, then all is forgiven with me. Becoming a proper class player for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toonlass Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Talk that he is going to accept a pay CUT! If that is true then he should go up in everyone's estimations! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeloEmre Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Why should he take a cut? Because he knows that nobody will give him the same contract that he has today, and i really think he loves playing for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is the club asking him to? Our rumoured wage cap is £50k a week, he'll be on more than that. If he wants a new contract, he's going to have to take a wage cut.

Anderson Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Why should he take a cut? Because he knows that nobody will give him the same contract that he has today, and i really think he loves playing for us. Yeah, I didn't mean like that, sorry I wasn't very clear. Why is the club asking him to? Completely difference circumstances to when he signed his current contract? He came here for £6m, aged 24 and looking like having the potential to move on to being a part of the national team. Since the he's been locked up and will be knocking on 30 by the time his contract is up. He's not going to move to anyone better and I doubt anyone will give him what he's currently on.

Guest toonlass Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Why should he take a cut? He shouldn't have to. But he has said on several occasions that he feels he owes us something for standing by him when he got into bother and he's also reported as saying he wants to end his career here. If it's true then it's a great gesture on his part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Aye. I used to hate him, even when he played for us I just thought he was a scummy, indisciplined little cretin. However, he seems to have turned his antics off the pitch around, and has began playing awesome so providing he doesn't do too many daft things like punch Gamst Pederson he will remain one of my favourite players at Newcastle. At the game whenever anything is given against him I'm just resigned to saying well it's Joey Barton isn't it. He gets f*** all from the referees now but I guess that's through his own doing. EDIT: I feel like I asked a totally retarded question before, given the mass response. Thanks anyhoo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 He would probably get what he does now at villa or Blackburn, both of which could be potential suitors I think he's really settled here and the fact that he still got paid a he'll of a lot whilst being out injured or inside means from a romantic point of view he owes us.

I doubt Villa would give him a long term deal, especially at the wages he's on. As for Blackburn, well they're a bit of joke with their new owners at the minute.

JH Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 He should be taking a pay cut like. For what he's offered us in every other season leading up to this, he's been paid over the top for providing absolutely nothing. He's playing brilliantly this season, but he arguably owes us (which he's admitted himself recently) for what was a poor start to his career here.

buzza Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Off tandem but he's still much more efficient for us while on the right rather than in the middle... Seems to loiter on the ball a lot more in the middle and lose more possession (has more of it aswell I suopose...) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 If what he is rumoured to be on is true of course he should be taking a pay cut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Wouldn't be surprised if he realises that getting his life straight off the pitch is almost priceless, too. What with the team spirit and this girlfriend of his, it seems he's more settled here than he's been probably since he was a child, if not his whole life, so moving could (though hopefully wouldn't) put that at risk. Not that the Board should take the piss, but there should be a deal that suits everybody. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
